Elena's POVI got up, moved to the window, and watched him leave the Laurence mansion, striding gracefully to the parking slot towards his car.A sigh escaped my lips as I retreated to my bed, trying to get my mind to think straight.“Why is Alana always intervening in my relationship with Raymond?” “Why is my husband attached to my stepsister?” I whispered, my mind reeling with thoughts.I had wanted to spend my birthday eve with Raymond and see what surprise he had for me, but Alana ruined everything.“She just can't wait to take away all the people I love from me, but why?” I mumbledThese questions swirled in my head, plunging me into darkness, an endless world of different questions.I felt weariness wash over my body as my thoughts ran wild. I could feel my headache as if a huge party was bustling in my head.I needed to clear my head and seal my mind, to avoid all these thoughts from entering into my head. My eyes darted around the room as I stood up,

Elena's POVMy eyes fluttered open, and the rays from the light which hung above me rushed into my pupils.“What’s that?” I muttered weakly, squinting my eyes to get accustomed to the harsh rays.The beeping of some instrument punctuated the atmosphere and I sat up, my gaze darting to the corners of the quiet room.“Where am I?” I asked no one in particular.The pounding in my head sounded like a war drum, making my headache so bad. I supported my head with my palm, trying so hard to understand why I was in the weirdly white room.The door creaked open, revealing Ralph as he rushed in.“Elena, are you okay?” he asked, his brow etched in worry as he stared into my eyes.“Where am I?” I asked, ignoring his question.He gave me a long deep stare as if scrutinizing my features,“Just relax, you'll be alright,” he whispered, sitting beside me, a smile on his face.“Where is Raymond?” I asked weekly, my eyes darting to the corners of the room.He looked at me, I could

Raymond's POV“Damn it,” I muttered under my breath, frustration laced in my voice.“What’s going on? What would happen to Hope?” Elena's tears rushed down, her voice quivering.What have I done? If only I protected Elena just as I had promised her, I don't think all these would have happened.“God,” I mumbled, relaxing on one of the pillars in the mansion and shutting my eyes, my shoulders shrugged as my thoughts weighed me down like lead.“You always ruin everything,” Ralph accused, his voice venomous.“Your anger keeps getting in the way and you end us destroying things, Raymond,” Ralph grumbled. “Shut the bloody hell up, Ralph!” I muttered as sweat dripped down my face.I could feel fear crawling down my spine, my breath coming in short gasps. I was reeling in confusion, unsure of what would happen to my little boy if the anonymous caller took his threats seriously.“Fuck it,” I cursed under my breath.A stinging sensation could be felt in my eyes. Could it

Elena's POV“Do You think they're alright, Dad? ” I asked my father-in-law with a heavy voice.The tension which engulfed the room was palpable, only broken by my question.He raised his face and stared into my eyes, unsure of how to reply to my question.“I think,” his voice was weak and barely audible.Alana was seated on the couch, her eyes fixated on the floor. She had been like that, ever since Ralph left the mansion.My mother-in-law leaned against a pillar, besides my father-in-law, both had grin faces and were lost in thoughts.“Should we call? Maybe ask if they're safe. Should we…” Alana was halted by my father-in-law's cold gaze.“Calling might implicate and raise issues, luring the enemy in their direction”. True! They might be detected,” Father-in-law declined, dismissively shaking his head.The sound of the rasping of knuckles on the glassy door reverberated through the air.The door slowly creaked open, revealing Raymond, a sad look on his face. Hi

Elena's POV“Am I missing something?” I asked, my tone laced with worry as I stared blankly at their reaction.Raymond heaved a sigh,“No, you aren't,” “We were having a little…….” Before he could finish, Alana's shrill voice could be heard, it was loud and clear. “ A little secret Raymond has been keeping for you,” Alana hissed, still maintaining her cold demeanor, her brow raised.I stood, still reeling in confusion as I stared blankly at them.“Okay?” I asked, my voice etched in nervousness.“Why don't you spill the truth, Raymond? ” Alana's gaze shifted to Raymond, who sought to remain mute, his eyes fixated on the floor beneath him, as if something had caught his interest.“Raymond?” I called, startling out of the thousand thoughts that swirled in his head.After a while of getting no response, I whirled around.
